You all are awesome! I tried to run the app and it came up with a gradle error - couldn't find the java file correctly?

The error looked like this: (in a dialogue pop up box after I tried to run the fun facts app in the emulator)

Failed to complete gradle execution.

Cause: Supplied JavaHome is not a valid folder.

What should I do!

Hi Samir,

Well seems like your path to JDK is not set properly.

In Android Studio, right click on the project name on the top (in the project structure on the left), then select Open Module Settings . In the window that appears check if the path to JDK is correct like here

In Windows the link is usually ProgramFiles/Java/jdk_version/

Although, if you haven't yet downloaded the JDK prior to working with Android Studio then download here Oracle JDK Download Link. Download for your respective OS

Hope this helps
